Pilate Voice

A loud ranting voice. In the old mysteries all tyrants were
made to speak in a rough ranting manner. Thus Bottom the Weaver, after
a rant “to show his quality,” exclaims, “That's 'Ercles' vein, a
tyrant's vein;” and Hamlet describes a ranting actor as “out-heroding
Herod.”

In Pilate voys he gan to cry,
And swor by armës, and by blood and bones.
